Constitutional Conflict in Provincial Massachusetts: A Study of Some Phases of the Opposition Between the Massachusetts Governor and General Court in the Early Eighteenth Century (1905)

Constitutional Conflict in Provincial Massachusetts is a historical study of the political tensions that arose between the governor and general court of Massachusetts in the early 18th century. Written by Henry Russell Spencer and originally published in 1905, the book examines the various factors that contributed to the conflict, including the governor's attempts to exert greater control over the colony's finances and the general court's resistance to these efforts. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources and historical records, Spencer explores the complex dynamics between the two branches of government and sheds light on the broader political and social context of colonial Massachusetts. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in early American history, political theory, and the evolution of democratic institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
